Yep. I support Scotland

Of course you were all going to hit the dislike button to make yourselves feel better but Scotland has to go down this route and it helps with the development of all players ACROSS ALL CLUBS. Rangers/Celtic Bs will field around 30-40 players next season, Not all of them can make it but if some dont at the lowland league level there could be players signed who have got at least 10-15 games at that level. So it will be more experienced then them playing in Reserve/Youth team football. Germany it works Spain It works Portugal its works I don't see the downsides to this, They are offering money to help the clubs in the division (In these times its more then welcome) & Sponsorship offers should/would come in which will give the clubs even more money I salute the clubs in the Lowland Leagues who voted on this idea and this pitful boycott that people are planning is laughable and hopefully will fail as the world will continue to move on

Its a wonderful idea to allow Colts teams into the Non-leagues (I know i'm in the minority but hey ho) This will improve the product, Enhance sponsorship, Make Rangers/Celtic players better & More experienced, Crowds might get better and plently of Lowland Players will have the only chance to play at Ibrox/Celtic Park. So its all good and i believe its a win win and many fans really need to wake up and smell the coffee and realise that this is progression.

With the increase of teams in Europe to 5 will this have a big factor on Next seasons league cup? or will they offer 1 less place to a 2nd place team

An idea would be to use 4 regional competitions as feeders to this competitions Highland (Highland, North Caledonian & North Juniors) West (All West of Scotland League clubs & Lowland West Clubs) South (South of Scotland League, Lowland South Clubs) East (All East Scotland League & Junior League clubs) The Semi finalists of each region (South may be weaker) go into the last 16. Then they play until the final

Puts the Scottish Cup to shame

Livingston 2-0 Ayr Hibs 2-1 Dundee Arbroath 1-2 Dunfermline Athletic Motherwell 2-1 St Johnstone Alloa 0-3 Hearts St Mirren 1-3 Aberdeen Celtic 4-0 Ross County Falkirk 1-3 Rangers

So what. Its an idea and its different from the one you linked. Ideas happen fella

Would like the Highland, North Caledonian & North Juniors combined to have a cup competition, on the same lines as what they do in the south of the country - 17 Highland League Clubs - 32 Scottish Junior clubs - 12 Northern Caledonian Clubs (59 clubs) First round - 54 clubs involved (5 Highland League teams gets byes) Second Round - 27 winners & 5 Highland League teams will play in this round Its high time that the clubs in the north unite for a competition like their counterparts within the south have done and have done for a number of years

My Formula for this cup Teams Entering - 30 SPL Teams - 18 Highland League sides - 16 Lowland League sides Have all SPL 2 & Below clubs have home ties in the 1st round (Last 64), This will ensure a little bit more interest in the competition From the Last 32 it would be an open draw. Final to be played at Hampden Park and will be on a Sunday.

League Cup and Challenge Cup should be knockout comps this year

We had B Teams in the 1940s so no reason why they cant happen again

Thats good of the SFA but 8 would make it a more effective competition

We have to limit the Non League clubs due to the nature of the season and aspects such as Testing and when they are playing

Brora, Fraserburgh, Roches, Buckie (Highland) Keity, Bonnyrigg, BSC Glasgow, East Stirling (Lowland) Sample Prelim Round draw Stranraer vs Bonnyrigg BSC Glasgow vs Roches Queens Park vs Elgin Brechin vs Kelty Fraserburgh vs Buckie Stirling Albion vs East Stirling Stenhousemuir vs Cowdenbeath Brora vs Edinburgh City Sample First round Fraserburgh/Buckie vs Forfar Peterhead vs Annan Albion Rovers vs Sten/Cowden Fraserburgh/Buckie vs Dumbarton Cove Rangers vs Clyde BSC/Rothes vs Queens Park/Elgin Dumbarton vs East Fife Brechin/Kelty vs Montrose Partick vs Stan/Bonny Stirling Al/East Stir vs Falkirk Exciting hey

I would have a reduced format,Less non-league sides but with more quality and more of a chance of League 2 sides playing SPL sides when/if the crowds come back, We dont really need pointless rounds for this years edition I would have 8 non league sides (4 Highland and 4 Lowland) 22 top sides into the last 32 28 sides battling out for 10 places Prelim (8 matches) First round (10 matches) More compact and much more easy to follow for the casual viewer which will help the development and forward thinking to Scottsh football which i'm sure that you will all agree

get all clubs involved (64)

B teams is where its at prove me wrong?

Kill it off

So October before Football is back in Scotland. No fans till 2022. Nicola Strugeon will make sure of that

Would like the colts idea (And i think that will not go away) But 14-14-14 is a lot better

Hearing news the smaller clubs are warming to the idea

The big boys will win and the B Teams will come in Cowdenbeath, Alloa etc are too small to survive we need more dynamic ideas.

Sorry but its more then what they are getting

I think that this should be an exclusive competition for the top 20 teams in Scotland for this next year
